Regina Pacini sings Ah fors e lui from La Traviata 1905 Fonotipia

Pacini's interpretations are highly unorthodox and today would be considered bad taste, but I can't get enough of them. Here she is singing Ah fors' e lui from La Traviata. This recording was made in Milan for Fonotipia on 5 May 1905. I've posted her contemporary recording of Violetta's other aria from this scene as a follow-up.

As a commenter pointed out on another of my Pacini uploads, she later became the first lady of Argentina.
